Away with doubles: object identification in data

Doubles in data can occur for many reasons. First, both "A. Turing 8b Manchester Oxford Road" as well as "Alan Turing Oxford Rd Manchester 8b MI39PL" can be found in a database. Two different entries that are likely to refer the same person and same address. Such duplicates can sometimes be found by measuring the textual agreement. Sometimes this is not the case.

DoggyBank

Installation Requirements

The DoggyBank firefox extension is compatible with firefox 1.5.x (not yet with 2.x) and requires a Java JVM 1.5 or later to be installed.

Installation

To install DoggyBank download the attached DoggyBank.zip archive. Extract the DoggyBank-x.y.xpi file from the zip archive and double click to install.

On linux (and Mac?) you can execute firefox DoggyBank-x.x.xpi on the command line to install the extension.

Using DoggyBank

All DoggyBank functionality is available in the firefox tools > DogmaBank menu.

All information necessary to start working with DoggyBank can be found in the attached excerpt from Jan Vandenbussches master thesis. Keep in mind that the concept suggestions provided by DoggyBank depends on the information already in DOGMA Server. The system is bootstrapped with a lot of general concepts, but more specialised concepts are not in the system yet.

Welcome to VUB STARLab

STARLab's research is situated within the domain of Information Systems, with particular focus on semantics and their deployment on the internet. In contrast to software systems in general, the emphasis within the field of Information Systems lies on data rather than on the programming. Whether in IT industry, practice or research, already for a long time developers, researchers and users alike are fully aware of the central importance of information and data.
